Ines Ruh Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Schwarza valley, the town of Sitzendorf and the surrounding mountains is even more magnificent than from the nearby "Sitzendorfblick". There is a small summit book where you can write down your own impressions. It is in a small box on the tree, just behind the bench.

Schwarzburg Castle - Imperial Hall building

Highlight • Castle

Schwarzburg Castle is located high above the valley, in the midst of wooded mountains. The first mention of Schwarzburg and the Count of Schwarzburg comes from the year 1071. The Schwarza river surrounds the castle hill on three sides, so that the castle was safe from attackers.
